whatItIs: >-
A self-contained interactive architecture reference that maps how Microsoft
Agent 365 discovers, identifies, governs, and observes agents across Microsoft
and third-party platforms.
whyUseIt:
- Follow five agent classes through build, connection, identity, packaging, runtime, and governance.
- Trace Agent 365 identity, token, SDK, CLI, MCP, telemetry, and administration relationships.
- Search and filter 18 representative public API endpoints with linked Microsoft Learn sources.

Open `index.html` in a modern browser. Use the section navigation and linked
architecture nodes to move through the atlas, zoom the main diagram, switch
themes, and filter the endpoint catalog by text or status.

- Modern web browser
- Current Microsoft Learn documentation for implementation validation

# Microsoft Agent 365 Lifecycle Atlas

The Agent 365 Lifecycle Atlas is a self-contained, interactive reference for
developers, architects, and administrators. It shows how agents enter the Agent
365 control plane, how identity and token flows work, where agents continue to
run, and which governance and observability interfaces apply at each stage.

## What the atlas covers

- Nine linked architecture and sequence diagrams
- Five agent classes across six lifecycle stages
- Entra agent identity objects and token exchanges
- Agent 365 SDK and CLI boundaries
- Governed MCP tooling and telemetry flows
- Administration actions and their non-cascading behavior
- Eighteen representative API endpoints with public Microsoft Learn sources

The atlas keeps generally available, preview, and beta capabilities visibly
separate. Preview and beta details must be checked against current Microsoft
documentation for the target tenant, cloud, and scenario before implementation.

## Usage

Open [`index.html`](./index.html) in a modern browser. No server, build process,
sign-in, or external JavaScript dependency is required.

When browsing the hosted FastTrack site, open the
[Agent 365 Lifecycle Atlas](https://microsoft.github.io/FastTrack/copilot-agent-strategy/agent-365-lifecycle-atlas/).

Use the page to:

1. Select a section from the sticky navigation.
2. Select a node in the main architecture map to jump to its detailed view.
3. Use the zoom controls or keyboard shortcuts on the main map.
4. Search the endpoint catalog by function, path, or permission.
5. Filter endpoint rows by generally available, preview, or beta status.

## Sources and scope

The content is compiled from the public Microsoft Learn sources linked inside
the atlas and was reviewed on September 10, 2026. It is an architecture
reference, not a deploy-ready configuration or an official product
specification.

## Applies To

- Microsoft Agent 365
- Microsoft Entra agent identities
- Microsoft 365 Copilot agents
- Microsoft Copilot Studio agents
- Microsoft Foundry agents
- Custom and third-party agent runtimes connected to Agent 365
